Re: Camera cutting out - cables coming loose?

This is a very common problem with this type of power connector. After the initial insertion the internal parts of the connector become a little bent and weak. The hot glue and/or tywrap are excellent suggestions. Remeber with the hot glue, it works best when the materials being glued get up to near the melt temperature. I wish we would be allowed to solder a permanent connection for these critical parts ( access point included please.)
